HomeBig slick is one of those hands where people eventually find themselves uttering the words “all in” and that’s exactly what happened to Greg Sanchez. On a board of 5♣ 9♥ 7♣ A♦, Sanchez bet 1300 into a brewing big pot and the sb player check-raised to 5450. Sanchez shoved his remaining 8000 or so chips and it was a showdown. Sanchez had A♥ K♥ for top pair but was behind the sb’s 7♦ 9♦ two pairs. Needing to get lucky or bust, the river felted a 5♠ giving Sanchez a higher two pairs and a big sigh of relief as he doubled up to around starting stack.
